We stop paying money to terrorist countries<BR/>2. We stop getting involved in stupid wars that MAY have been over oil<BR/>3. An alternative-energy revolution will stimulate the economy by creating hundreds of thousands of jobs<BR/>4. The monies being spent on oil, wars, gets used for domestic things like health care<BR/><BR/>If we only focus on fixing health care, where is the money going to come from? I think the most patriotic, economically-wise, and biggest boost to national security would be for the USA to become energy independent.Cocameisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11521527048878256556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828330400342145978.post-61871647262826561292008-10-09T08:24:00.000-04:002008-10-09T08:24:00.000-04:00I'm a different "anon" by the way.

Both candidates are severely lacking. McCain is weak and so is Obama. maybe we all need new hobbies as the days of being a politico are over.

So these things just end up as 'who can sound more presidential?' and that can only be judged by the individual listener. Tip to McCain - hold mic further away from face so we don't have to hear each one of the quavering inhalations. 'I've got news for you, the news is bad' doesn't really make sense (though I recognize the logical construction: 'I've got news for you, the economy is bad' would've been too Malthusian). I liked the jello on the wall zinger better.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060719449030959357noreply@blogger.com
